Britney Spears is premiering three teaser clips today of her new music video for the ménage à trois-themed song “3″ — and tease is the appropriate word. The clips, released on TwitVid, the video uploading site, run an epic five seconds each. The viewing experience has the frustrating and ultimately unsatisfying aspect of, say, trying to catch raindrops in the desert to quench your thirst. Lab rat-like, you click refresh over and over and over again in an effort to catch what just happened (which, from Spears’ perspective, is likely the point). What we were able to discern from the brief clips: the lyrics are something like “one, two, three// not only with me”; Spears does a lot of mussing with her hair; the video alternates between high-gloss color and black and white; and, once again, with access to the best producers and songwriters in the world, the pop diva has recorded a generic-sounding dance track.
